Add an Apex air scoop while your at it.

Which means more realistic IAT #s which means less timing being pulled which means more power when I need it. All in all I'm happy with the switch.
I have always been interested in this intake but I haven't seen any pics on the inner workings of it

Again, we all know CAI has an elite product, but I am very pleased with the Blackhawk.

I have run a CAI for 2 years, and never have had a CEL issue. AND you don't have to relocate your washer bottle. Just recently did mine so that I can install a scoop.

I currently own a plastic tubed K&N and it is not as bad as everybody on this forum makes it out to be. I was at jannetty racing a month ago and he had a Cold Air Inductions on display. I absolutely think it is a better quality product and will be ordering one shortly. Do I think that I will feel the difference... No ... but at least I will know I am squeezing every possible HP out of my components.
